 cans in ChieagO-The Labor Party
 Make Poor Showing.
 CHICAGO, April 5.-The municipal election to-day resulted in 8 sweeping victory for the Republican ticket. A very large vote was boiled in all the wards and the returns so far indicate that John A. Roche, Republican candidate for mayor, has been elected by majority ranging from 25, ,0Oo to 3O,000. The balance of the Republican ticket also re- ceived large majorities. Robert Nelson, the candidate of the United Labor party, re- ceived strong support, but the aggregate of the labor vote was not as large by number of thousands as had been estimated. In the Fourteenth ward where the labor party ex- pected decisive results the majority for Roche was nearly five hundred and in several other wards counted upon by the supporters of Nelson the voting was in favor of the Repub- licans. There was no special excitement during the day, the voting proceeding in all the precincts in steady, quiet manner. The Republican ticket received considerable Democratic support, that party having no ticket in the field, dividing it's vote between Roche and Nelson. Early this morning Theo- dore Frankson, ticket peddler for the La bor party, dropped dead on the sidewalk in the First precinct of the Third ward. He had just arrived at his post of duty. This evening the great Republican victory is be- ing celebrated by bon6res and other jubila- tions.
 Returns from all the wards give Roche, Rep.) 51 ,O89; Nilsson, United LaboT 22,- 848; Roches majority 28, ,241. The city coun- cil is largely Republican. In the Fifth ward E. D. Connor, Socialist, was elected alder man.

Smart Girls in Boston.

Boston Budget: A childish remark very
often punctures the assertions of an older
head. A friend at the tea table, speak
ing of the necessity of courtesy and the
manner in which it distinguished a gent
leman from boor, said: II invaribly lift
my hat to lady acquaintance on the
street." "But, pa" remarked his little
daughter, ''you don't lift your hat TO
mother when you meet her on the street;
she's one lady you don't do it to, know
Boston Courier: A maiden of ten years,
living on Franklin street, helped herself
to the last orange on the plate at luncheon
yesterday. "Why, my dear, that is self
ish," remarked her mother, .'you should
have waited to see if mama didn't want
it," ''Well, that would be letting you be
selfish, wouldn't it," was the answer
and you see, you're oil der than I am, and
will die first, and would have to explain
in heaven why you were selfish, but I'll
have lots of time to grow generous.
Boston Record: This too, is good enough
to bear sus picion of being a twice told
tale: Little Mable had been to Sunday
school. The lesson was the escape of
Lot from Sodom, and on her return home
was asked to tell about it.
"Oh," said she, at was about Lot, anc
the people in Sodom We're awful wicked
and Lot was the only good one, and he
was told to flee from destruction with his
family, and they said: Now Lot, you
mustn't turn and look back and Lot didn
look back, but Mrs. Lot wanted to see
what was going to happen, so after they
had gone aways Mrs. Lot turned and
looked back and turned somersault."

A WATERMELON EPISODE.
Jubilee Among the Coleree People of Gal
weston.

Jubilee Among the Coleree People of Gal
weston.
Yesterday afternoon as a train of drays
loaded with tempting watermelons was
coming down Twentieth street from
Brick wharf, the board piece in the
rear of one of the wagons suddenly fell
out, and watermelons came tumbling out
with rush. As fast as one would fall
to the ground it would burst with a
cracking noise, and pretty soon the
ground was dotted with red and green.
The love of watermelons by the darky
was here exemplIfed in an unmistakable
manner. The news quickly spread; and
dark forms could be seen fitting through
the atmosphere in their eagerness to
reach the scene. They rushed up from
the wharf, from the market,house, and
from surrounding localities, and swooped
down upon the smashed watermelons like
a hawk upon its prey. 1t was a regular
Watermelon feast, and the darkies were
in the seventh heaven of delight. Each
appropriated to himself lucious piece
and squated down and munohed it on the
spot. The dusky driver of tho wagon
thought he might as we'll come in that
game, and was not long before he join
ed the squad.
"Hee, hee," chuckle0 an ancient darky
as he squirted the seeds from his mouth,
''taint of un you gifts watermillions like

word, the ancient darkey proceeded to
annihalate the best part of the mellon,

Mr.. REDMOND (Nationalist), member
